Peanut Brittle - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pkg. raw peanuts
2 c. sugar
1/3 c. water
2/3 c. white Karo syrup
1 1/3 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. butter or margarine

Preparation

Cook sugar, water and syrup in medium saucepan until a thread is spun.
The mixture falls off the spoon as a fine thread or hair-like (285\u00b0 to 290\u00b0 on candy thermometer).
Add peanuts and stir continuously until mixture turns a golden, slightly brown color.
Remove from heat and immediately add butter, salt and soda.
This will result in a foamy mixture.
Stir in quickly and spread on buttered cookie sheet or board.
Allow to cool and break into pieces.
